A major North East bus station is to shut for 14 weeks during refurbishment.

North Road terminus in Durham City will be shut from March 21 and until the end of June. Passengers will need to catch buses from the streets around the area.

A Durham County Council spokesman said: "Following considerable consultation with the bus companies and the police, it has emerged the only viable option for the displaced buses will be to install temporary stands on North Road, Sutton Street and Millburngate."
